Question
Bacteria have restriction enzymes.
✓
Answer
- Restriction endonucleases or restriction enzymes in bacteria help them to recognize and destroy various viral DNAs that might enter the cell.
- They cut the phosphodiester back bone at highly specific sites on both strands of DNA.
- Thus, these enzymes restrict the potential growth of the virus and protect bacteria.
- Hence, bacteria produce restriction enzymes.
